I saw this and i just had to completely disagree with them in every aspect. It just goes to prove to me that the british arent that bright... If youve ever driven a lightning, you can find this very laughable.

im baffled, shocked, dumbfounded. this dumb @ss has clearly never driven a truck before its no wonder Columbus wanted to get the hell away from those morons, even though i think Columbus sailed form england you get the idea.

my grandpa owns a 1999 ford lightning, just like the one in the video but black, i love it, for power purpose any way, 4x4ing no this truck is for pavement, and the interior is not at all in that bad of shape, that idiot must have bought that used form another dumbass

this guys in the video is a jackass

You know,

It's just a completely different value system over there. Their lives are just a series of small, muddled daily events that get them to death. All you need to know was said in the first 2 minutes: It's the best selling vehicle in the world; we don't drive it.

I could pound out panels on a Rolls Royce and make it look bad, park too close the guy in front and behind, (what's up with that T bone parking anyway? And you drive on the left, but parallel park on the right, facing traffic?), and have my sound engineer steal stuff out of the bed too, doesn't make the vehicle suck. And I'd like to see him take that little Mercedes hatchback down that flooded out road, or through the brambled drive he chose without scraping the paint; as crappy as their roads look I'd say you need a truck over there. But he's more worried about his espresso and stinky fingers. I can help him withthe latter: keep you fist outta your boyfriend's @$$, Limey.

Holy **** that's funny you guys saw that video too, I saw it last week and I was so furious! It's also funny that they think the svt lightning is BIG! That's like the smallest truck ford offers in the f-series haha. I was so pissed when he made fun of it....it's backwheel drive, why would it have tight steering?? That truck is one of the sweetest fastest trucks designed, and then to boot he said england was too "SOPHISTICATED" for it, give me a ****in break. All that american bashing video did was showcase how lame and queer england is haha!!
